Hi Guys,

Well I just change my deer and moose hunting gear. I baught a Browning stainless Stalker and put a Leupold LPS 2.5x10x45 on it. What a nice kit. I hope my wife doesn't see it!!!! I need your help for a bullet choice. What would you use(for Whitetail and moose). Looking at Federal's Nosler Accubond, Partition or TBBC or Winchester's Accubond(is this the same as the winchester). I want a 180gr. Thanks for your advice!

Forgot to metion that it has the BOSS system which might make a difference in bullet type. Also, would you know the sweet spot?

I assume 300 wsm or 300 wm, since you never specified the chambering but are looking at 180 gr pills!

All listed will work for the critters you are chasing. I personally would start with the partition as it is a dandy double duty baseline bullet for deer/moose. If not pleased with the accuracy try the Accubonds (BTW the Winchesters are the same just lubalox coated (black) and different colour tipthen theAB's). I have used both Partitions and Accubonds for deer/moose/elk both have performed well but the partitions do give better penetration on the chance you catch bone on them swamp donkeys. If you keep it in the ribs the Accubonds do a fine job for the likes of moose or elk. Either work equally well for deer.

As far as the BOSS I don't own one myself but from playing with them on buddies abolts few actually find this sweet spot browning refer too. Mind you my experience islimited. Best of luck in this regard.

Sounds like a nice rig, enjoy!!

Yes Skeeter it is a 300WSM. Should do the job in Saskatchewan in 06!!!! You guys still have a mild winter. Great for those big bucks. Have you been seeing alot of them. We had a good hunt in 05 but to warm and no snow!

Cormier yes it has been mild. We have got more snow as of late but it isn't really a source of problem inmost regions. So things look AOK for the game. Yes, with the growing amount of snow they are yarded up nicely in around home. As far as bucks some days it appears they are everywhere meanwhile others mostly women and childern are spotted...but that's deer in Saskatchewan as a rule. No shortage of whitetails being seen though.

Last fall was way off in terms of nov. deer hunting. No snow is one thing but when we get rain in November well that is just insane!!!! My season was pretty good though, bull elk, 47" bull moose,160 -5x5 wt and a couple of does tags were filled. Nothing real hugebut I won't complain, lots of meat in the freezer, good timesand more memories in the bank.

Best of luck with the 300wsm. It should work dandy for your 06' return trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
